11、在安静中忍受,也就是逆来顺受、默默隐忍。这倒也挺符合贝拉的个性的。【8】俚语讲解:Chillaxchillax是一个俚语的组合词, = chill + relax。relax大家都理解的,放轻松的意思;chill 则表示寒冷、冷静,也是口语里面经常用来让对方保持冷静的词儿。俩加在一起基本上还是原来的意思:放轻松,别紧张,保持冷静。【9】口语词汇:tantan n. 黄褐色这个词既能表示晒黑的或者深色的皮肤,以及晒黑皮肤这个行为。而 pale则表示白皙的肤色。【10】口语词组:home girlhomegirl n. 同乡的女子 a girl or woman from ones neighbo

13、。如果感到有危险的话,会很小心地经常往后看,而如果有人帮你罩着你身后,那你就可以大胆放心地只管前面了。got your back就是这么来的。看暮光之城学英语 Twilight之三 神秘同学Bella: Who are they? Angela: The Cullens. Jessica: Theyre Dr. And Mrs. Cullens foster kids.
